Darius’s question immediately made Aurora laugh softly in disbelief.

“…this little girl just called me Dad, didn’t she?”

Hazel giggled again as she lightly smacked his knee.

“Da…”

Darius’s expression immediately turned strange.

He looked like someone who had just won something even greater than his entire business empire.

Aurora rested her chin on her hand as she watched his reaction.

“I’ve never seen you this confused before.”

Darius finally lifted his gaze slowly.

“I’m making sure I didn’t he

  • Revenge Born of Betrayal   Chapter 140: A Kiss Beneath the Eiffel Tower

    Morning arrived in Paris beneath clear skies and a soft, chilly breeze.Aurora stood in front of the large mirror in the hotel room, staring at her reflection for several long seconds.The white dress she wore wasn’t extravagant. It wasn’t covered in excessive sparkle or elaborate details. Just a simple gown with an elegant, gentle silhouette that fell perfectly against her figure.And perhaps because of that simplicity—everything felt far more real.Aurora slowly touched the edge of the fabric.It still felt hard to believe the day had truly arrived.Her second wedding day.But this time was different from the past.There was no pressure from a powerful family.No luxurious celebration filled with strangers.No fear that she was making another mistake.What existed now was only peace.And a man who had chosen to stay, even when her life had been at its most chaotic.A soft knock sounded at the door.Aurora immediately turned.A few seconds later, the nanny entered carrying Hazel wit

    Darius’s words made Aurora’s steps slow slightly.“…maybe because I already thought of that little girl as my daughter, even when she was still in your womb.”Aurora slowly turned toward the man beside her.The cold Paris wind drifted softly through the trees in the park, while Hazel remained asleep in her small stroller, unaware of the conversation between the two adults nearby.Aurora watched Darius for several seconds longer.And strangely—she wasn’t surprised by the confession.Because deep down…Aurora had always known.Darius had loved her long before everything fell apart.Long before Aurora married Dante.And long before their lives became as complicated as they were now.“Do you still remember that night?” Aurora finally asked softly.Darius’s gaze shifted slightly.“Which night?”Aurora smiled faintly.“The night you thought Hazel was your daughter.”Darius’s steps paused briefly.And that alone was enough of an answer.For a while—he truly had believed the baby might be h

    Paris welcomed them with cold air and pale early-autumn skies.Aurora sat by the car window, watching the streets lined with classic buildings and warm glowing lights. Meanwhile, Hazel slept peacefully in the baby seat beside her after spending nearly half the trip tugging at Darius’s suit sleeve.And strangely—for the first time, Aurora truly felt far away from all the chaos.No emergency meetings.No security reports.No names like Dante or Victor constantly lingering behind their lives.Just Paris.And the three of them.“If you keep staring outside like that…” Darius said casually from beside her, “…people are going to think this is your first time seeing a big city.”Aurora glanced at him lightly.“I’ve never been to Paris before.”Darius raised an eyebrow slightly.“Seriously?”Aurora nodded.“The people around me were always too busy before.” Her gaze returned to the window. “And after everything fell apart… I never even thought about vacations anymore.”Darius stayed silent f

    Darius’s house felt far busier that morning.Several large suitcases were neatly lined up near the living room. Travel documents still lay open on the table. And the voices of the household staff occasionally drifted in from the kitchen and front yard.Their departure for Paris had finally arrived.Aurora stood near the staircase, watching Hazel’s nanny pack several baby supplies into a large bag.And strangely—she still found it hard to believe this was really happening.Paris.A wedding.And a new life that was slowly becoming more real before her eyes.Footsteps approached from behind.Darius stopped beside her while holding two passports.“You look like you’re thinking about something too seriously again.”Aurora glanced at him briefly.“I still feel like everything is happening too fast.”Darius raised an eyebrow slightly.“Do you want to cancel the flight?”Aurora immediately turned toward him.“Of course not.”Darius chuckled softly.And once again, the sound made Aurora’s che

  • Revenge Born of Betrayal   Chapter 135: Rumors Begin to Spread

    Several days after that conversation, Aurora’s life began to feel far calmer than before.Darius’s house now truly felt alive.Mornings began with Hazel’s constant little giggles as she practiced walking around the living room. Afternoons were filled with meetings and company documents that had started piling up again. And the evenings…slowly became Aurora’s favorite time of day.Because Darius was always there.No matter how busy work became, he always came home. He always made time for dinner together. And he always picked Hazel up before the little girl could start crying for attention.At first, everything had felt unfamiliar to Aurora.But day by day—she grew used to it.Maybe too used to it.That morning, Aurora had just finished an online meeting with several Blackwood Group directors when one of her secretaries sent a rather long message to her tablet.Aurora’s gaze immediately stopped on one sentence.“Rumors of a Harrington–Blackwood merger have begun spreading through the
